Artist Block. Inspire me! Free sketches

I'm kinda bored lately (finished all my commish stuff so I don't have much else to do) and I'm kinda running ragged shorting out on ideas so, please inspire me!

So anyone want a free sketch from moi?

So, here's your job. Sell your idea to me. Picture yourself as a used car salesman. Like, why should I draw YOUR char and your idea? Do whatever it takes...humor works wonders with me.

I'll pick the 5+ most interesting/amusing chars on Saturday. =)

Cheers!

Note: I won't necessarily draw your char the way you may want it to be drawn...like, for a certain Snowman, if I suddenly felt like drawing a deranged snowman chasing kids around, then that's a possibility too. =p

Also wanted to add, if time permits and depending on how much I feel like it, I *MAY* work one piece all the way to completion too (digital inks + color).

Turbo-Ski's Ice Crafters can make you a stunning array of weaponry, armor and tools made out of high density ice. Need to kill someone at your next company picnic, we can craft you a very sharp dagger of ice that easily fits around whatever food or drink you might have in your cooler. Ice weapons can easily bypass metal detectors and x-ray scans at security stations, and can be easily to disposed of after use. We also do ice sculptures and other ice decorations with sharp protrusions, in case an accident should happen to occur at your next party

Picture a hero that is taking time of from fighting villain to make something for the kids.
Picture a Paragon where snow hasnt been seen the entire winter.
Picture a hero, who was originally a snowman but has now come to life.

Snowman Frost helps the children. Standing atop a hill in a park setting. Arms outspread calling snow from the heaven. Before him kids are playing in the snow, using sleeds and skiing down the hill, having snowballfights and all sorts of fun.
The name of the scene:
Being a hero is all about making children laugh.

Why should you do this one?
1. Its something new.
2. Its lightheated and humorrous. (is that a word)
3. It would make me happy.
4. Please draw Snowman Frost

Torch Juggler is an aerialist and 'pyro' performer from an alternate dimension. She's cute, she's kickin', and she likes tossing flaming objects around. And she REALLY likes artists... you know how circus folks are, especially Carnies... always more fun when there's an audience for the 'performance art'!!

I hope that Kilotonnage the iron-jawed Troll inspires you. Who doesn't love a Troll? Whether the City of Heroes version or the fairy tale, Billy goats gruff version to the immortal pickle nosed Dungeon and Dragons version, Trolls are just cool.

Well obviously Rox would love to be portrayed in wierd ways. What's more fun than making strange rock puns!! And if that doesn't suit ya, remeber he does wear poo shoes around when he fights.

Oi, inspire you, huh?

Once upon a time, long, long ago...

Nah...

Kheprera's background. So, there's a start. Something that's not mentioned in the story (yet) is, although she's immortal, she's never been in love and is still a virgin. Two sidekicks for the price of none (because there is no beast control). Original powers from conception include her being able to turn into a giant lioness, she has a goddess form with a lionine head and titanic stature, and when she flies, she turns into a scarab. Although she's an Emp/Psi in CoH, her full range includes wielding a khopesh sword as well as her Anubis staff, and instead of the nemes cloth headdress that CoH has, she wore the Vulture headdress.

So there are a myriad of ways for you to draw her. Purely in CoH form, or however you really care to.

CoH Screenshots

My initial, pathetic attempt at her.

Elliot Emerson is a highly respected officer within' the Rogue Island Police.. well when others aren't trying to steal all the glory and possible promotions. He's best known for his odd training methods, taking fresh officers not even fully trained into highly risky situations.. those that "pass" his tests usually go on to become full officers. Elliot, while a "upstanding" officer has been on perhaps one to many busts that had.. "no possible arrests".

Elliot's HC File [ Click ]

And 'cause I'm not completely sure that has alot of front facing shots. [ Click ]

Elliot has the Arachnos symbol on both shoulders of his standard uniform shirt, as well as the symbol seen on his freely worn bullet proof vest labled with his last name, "Emerson", just above the symbol. He always wears standard issue belt, with gun holster (and technically only has one pistol).. the same belt contains cuffs, pepper spray and his walkie talkie style radio (Arachnos is actually cheap funding for RIP, they send most funds to Arachnos Soldiers). Not to mention his sleeves rolled up, but perhaps the in game screen shots are up alittle to far.

What I think would be a awesome piece of work is Elliot, crouched behind a wall.. bullet holes visible on the bit of the wall seen around the corner. His gun up at the ready with both hands holding onto it tightly. A slight look of anger as he peers toward the corner, 'cause he knows.. the next shot counts.



So.. thats what I got, I fantasize about art alot so.. hope it was as good for you as it was for me.

I would like to enter Invincibelle.

She can fly and is super strong and invulnerable. Unfortunately for her, and fortunately for me, she has discovered that she is far more durable than her costume is. Why do I think she should be chosen? One word, cheesecake!

Crap. Buckeyestar snuck one in. And despite his, er... growing 'Belle art collection, I foresee DaosX would enjoy drawing her more than Torchie.

Well, unless Torchie decides to pull out her rarely-performed-because-it's-very-indecent Polynesian torch dance.... it's one of those "oh my goodness, how can she do that without burning herself in sensitive places" type spectacles.

Actually, I'm judging you guys on what you write more than what the characters actually look like. I haven't actually looked at any of screenshots/pics yet.

"O rly?"

hehehe.

"All right folks, step right up, welcome to the Polynesian Torch Revue, here at the Mewtrino Lounge in lovely downtown Steel Canyon. You all paid the cover charge, so... you wanna see a really hot woman on stage right?"

*cue crowd cheer, whistles, catcalls*

"We've got a good one for ya... presenting, our star attraction, direct from Praetorian Earth, she's cute, spunky, and likes to heat things up... Torch Juggler!"

God I hate that intro, makes me feel all cheap and tawdry. And this costume... I feel like I'm an extra in "Conan" or something... or Princess Lea's stunt double. At least metal's fireproof... although I wish it wasn't heat-conductive.

(looks up, dreads the mod-stick)

Enter: Sirromnad

Sirromnad is part of a very awesome super group. In fact, this supergroup is so awesome it's name is..

"The Super Group That's So Super It's Ridiculous"

Don't believe me? Look it up.

He's a Dark/Dark/Dark Defender.

Bio: Used to be a scientist in the field of genetic engineering. His major work was codenamed "Project Birth". It was commisioned by the government to genetically create human beings with special abilities. Sirromnad was a bit wary of this, but he was forced into doing it. After creating a number of succesful and a huge amount of unsuccesful creations he stopped working on Project Birth. It was to much stress and it was already on the border of a line man was not ment to cross. After he left his job he decided to take the biggest risk of his life, genetically alter himself. It was a daunting task, and he had some of his creations from project birth as his assistants. He added to his genetic material. What he gained was a deep link to another dimension. With focus and practice he learned to control them. He was bored with his life now that his science career was over, and decided to put his powers to good use fighting crime.

Personality: Sirromnad is a goofball. He loves to play jokes, hang around, socialize, party. He is a lazy guy for the most part. When it came to his old career in science he was still the same but took it with a very serious attitude. He took pride in his work but it wasn't for him. When he stopped working he went back to his goofball/lazy ways. But this time he was obviously a super hero fighting for justice and all that good junk.


That's a quick bio/personality outline. So ya.

Well, if you need someone different...

Luficia is a good character to sketch. She's a nice, happy go lucky character with a talking sword. That flirts with girls and is snarky to everyone. So, here!

And some of my favorite screens of her.

See, now, after Torch Juggler's act, we've got the perfect... assistant. Caduccia will not only cool her down and put out any... charred customers, but take care of that interesting burn-scar pattern from the costume, too.

Got to love ice and empathy. Cool and caring, and yes, she knows Jack.... at least the short, ice-cube-lookalike.

So I went ahead and started it off, anyways...Turbo Ski! What can I say? I LOVE SCHOOL RUMBLE! My favorite anime series ever, as a matter of fact.

And to top it off, I LOVE ERI!!!
